Allegorical story of the war between Diabolo and Emanuel over the city of Mansoul. Diabolo wins, but finally has to give over to Emanuel who offers the city's salvation. Faculties, virtues, and vices are the military commanders and civil advisors. Margina notes facilitate the reading and offer hints at bible chapters as parallel reading.
